Serene times - ensemble episodes of love PART III
I could't update this since my house was set on fire ... I'm still trying to cope with a handful of random emotions but I think I needed to finish at least this chapter, I'll try to finish the 4th one and post it faster than this one so... yeah, enjoy ?
I'm so mad at myself for lacking imagination in this chapter, I wanted to getting out asap and I think that was the problem, anyway... I'm sorry
Arthur opened the door to the observation deck,a big gush of wind after him. Since the day was misty and cold, he had to stay and see Shaun and Violet leave without problems but started to feel a cold chill even with his battle coat on.
He quickly saw Naths shape near the windows, the white of the mist making her curves even more visible on her vault suit.
Holding their baby boy on her arms, still sleeping. She was standing there, waiting, he knew that she wouldn't wait forever, too fierce, too wild but even with all that, she was as sweet as a warm ray of sun in a perfect day with their kids, she loved them, and he loved her.
Arthur quietly approached her as not to wake up his boy.
“He had a rough night, he couldn’t sleep well, his nose still blocked from his cold, I had just gave him his medicine when he ran off” she explained while patting his head slowly to comfort him
Arthur gave her a serious look and walked past her, trying if he could see something outside from his window, but the mist was thick and it always brought a faint smell of the rotting ocean below.
“Another reason not to go outside, he needs to stay warm”
If heavy sighs could kill...
Arthur knew how she could bite back when she was pissed so he quickly changed tactics.
“I only want him to get better”
“You only want me to stay away from my people”
“I’ve been here, for what? WEEKS now, taking care of the children and helping with the squires, I need to go see how everything is going, I can’t keep sending Shaun all the time, I need to get my hands dirty again, I know your opinion about them and the people that live at the Castle now but ...”
“That you still feel bad of what you did to”Don’t say it
“I thought we agreed on not talking about him anymore” Arthur snarled, trying to keep his emotions under control
“But it’s inevitable” Nath snapped back ”I see you still conflicted about what you did to him every time you see Violet and I know that if we didn’t have an agreement you would’ve kept her from seeing him!”
The High Elder turned around unable to see her wife eye to eye.
“SHE CAN STAY IN THE CASTLE IF SHE WANTS” he lost it...
Mixed emotion of anger and sadness came to her face, surprised by the words of her oh-so-mighty-child-husband, she couldn't stop herself the need to defy him everytime he was behaving like the spoiled brat he actually was.
“Alright then!” she hold her baby closer to her “Then as our wedding contract stated I go where my childrens go”
The High Elder of the Brotherhood of Steel didn’t like to lose but defeat was always inevitable against her wife.
He knew what he had done to her, to her children, to Danse… to everyone, only so he can have her and only her by his side.
“I… I” Arthur tried to look into her eyes but could’t, instead he fixed his stare on his son that was waking up by the noises of their argument “I didn’t mean to say that I don’t want us to live together, I just…”
He took a pause and tried to look into Naths eyes.
Nath gave another heavy sigh
“You better, I’m still needed for 2 other baby Maxsons right? Would be hard otherwise.”
This time Nath could clearly see how much her comment hurted him and almost felt bad… almost.
“I’m sorry” not that she actually felt like it but her preventive side quickly spoke before anything could go wrong with their conversation.
She didn’t actually wanted to leave, she felt that her children were more safe inside the ship that in the Castle in this difficult times.
“No you’re right to feel that way after all this, but please, believe me-”
“Shall I remind you why we are going to war again here?”
Nath finally smiled at him, that winning smile of her pissed him off a bit but that was going to be the best he could get out of her at that moment.
“I can leave him here with one of the scribes to take care of him while I go out”
Even though that his son could be very well be guarded by his best men and women, Arthur didn’t like the idea of leaving his heir to the scribes, didn’t feel well…he didn’t want his son to feel neglected ….like he did.
“I’m sending you with some Start Paladins, take a Vertibird and keep a radio on you just in case something happens”
“Want me to bring Liberty Prime too?”
Arthur gave her an annoyed stare
“You know, just in case!” Nath smiled
Arthur kissed her front and then his sons
“Just... come back to me”
Nath rolled her eyes but nodded. “I’ll be back to put the kids to sleep”
A light kiss on the lips, she turned around and left.
Arthur was all alone again.
There was something off in the air.
Side note: We are going to the Castle wooh!
